This is old fucking news haha. The title has been out for quite awhile.

What does Autotheism mean? They said this would be another concept album so the title should give away the concept.

Digging: Mouth of the Architect - Dawning

This isn't way overdue or anything.

four years for a thirty minute album?

bollocks.

Should be titled "Unnecessary Wanking."

Or "We Will Name This Album Something Overtly Stupid In Hopes That Our Fans Will Read Too Far Into It."

it's gonna be thirty minutes? haha

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

shit

dammit

Digging: Renaissance - Ashes are Burning

ooh man theyre so brootal

Digging: Antlion - Era of Entropy

Michael Keene could rape any one on here in a guitar-contest, so could Evan Brewer with bass, so they automatically win.

Lol @ Meshuggah - Koloss.

when did michael keene stop acting?

"Michael Keene could rape any one on here in a guitar-contest"

nope. I agree that evan brewer is real great though.

"Lol @ Meshuggah - Koloss."

lol you like this band

Relinquished, wow.

Just wow.

Have you seen Michael Keene @ NAMM or Evan Brewer do Alone solo?

If not, I suggest you do. Anyone with any respect for talent will do so.

saying wow automatically proves you're right

"Have you seen Michael Keene @ NAMM

If not, I suggest you do. Anyone with any respect for talent will do so."

loooooool anyone with any RESPECT FOR TALENT should watch him??

he's alright I admit, but playing fast riffs doesn't mean shit

30 minutes? Source? That blows.

wasn't this supposed to be out like 2009

It's better than nothing.

why didnt they call it "Where Did My Face Go?"

Digging: Nuclear Death - Bride of Insect

"Lol @ Meshuggah - Koloss."

ok

doesn't change the fact this band sucks

Naw. They're pretty great.

Got boring quick for me
Had both their albums at a 4 and just kept lowering the rating over time

Kill is stoked

i think i should listen to this band

"why didnt they call it "Where Did My Face Go?"

I can't believe I lol'd at that. Gold job.

I expect a repeat of what happened to As Blood Runs Black. 4-5 years of writing boring and average as fuck material.

Cool

Being able to play fast doesn't make your music worth listening to.

Digging: Swans - Swans Are Dead

30 minutes of spacey atmosphere and guitar wankery, stoked

"Lol @ Meshuggah - Koloss."

Lol @ thinking this is better than Meshuggah.

Digging: Laura Marling - Once I Was An Eagle

I adored Planetary Duality so hopefully this will be a treat

Digging: Squarepusher - Ufabulum

there are faceless fanboys on sputnik? wat

1. as blood runs black was never ever good. ever.

2. band gets a little more hate than deserved around here even though its just augury for fags

Sweet, I love the Faceless. This should be good.

"What does Autotheism mean?"

Well it probably is talking about masses of people undeniably believing in God and being "Auto" Theists without taking time to form their own beliefs and taking what their parents and other people feed them.

In other words, this album will probs be a stab at religion.

religion is for losers

Yes there are faceless fans on here. Not everyone can have such a great taste in music like you.

@ all the people saying "OMG ONLI 30 MINITZ DAT SO GAEY"

JUST THINK. Any more than a thirty minute album from these guys is overkill.

"band gets more hate than deserved"

yeah i said that.

in other words - i dont hate the faceless and i occasionally find myself enjoying a few of their songs

@MichaelSnoxall so true

Should be solid like the last album, but I'm also hoping it contains more than like 8 damn songs.

Digging: Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas

"JUST THINK. Any more than a thirty minute album from these guys is overkill."

Still, at 4 years for thirty minutes of music, this had better be some fucking phenomenal tech death.

A metal band taking a stab at religion; how original.

Sarcasm is a pretty unoriginal form of irony, Stable. 'Should probably kill yourself now.

Whoa there

Suicide is too unoriginal.

if i just said that it would have 15 2 minute songs you would probably all just believe me right?

I don't see any reason not to believe you

yay

"Lol @ Meshuggah - Koloss."

lol @ people who like bad music

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

I looked up Autotheism, XGX is right, it's about worshipping oneself. Ignore my previous comment of ignorance, The Faceless aren't the new Deicide.

It just means they're up themselves. "We've got some stuff on the record that we think is new not even for us, but maybe even for like Metal"

YOU GUYS AREN'T THAT UNIQUE.


Good band, though.

late news

Article is wrong.

They clearly have faces.

Digging: Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

Its that homeless guy in florida favorite band!

Meshuggah is more talented than the faceless.

but

Meshuggah is overrated on Sputnik and The Faceless is a bit underrated/overly hated on.

They both suffer from the whole talent-not-translating-fully-into-good-songs problem.

Meshuggah fans are a lot like Tool fans - they think their band's music is soo much deeper and awesome than it actually is (I do like both bands to a small extent though before you fully napalm me).

yesssss

more brutality!

sweet

Meshuggah is better (even though their styles are miles away from one another) but this should be pretty good. m/

So fucking excited! It sounds like they're taking another step in the Progressive realm which should be awesome.

as long as they don't bring back that annoying robot voice I'm sure it'll be ok

Ok.... Thomas Haake>Lyle Cooper only in polymeters, and Michael Keene could smoke Fredrik in anything other than finding strange ways to phrase 4/4. Yalll stoopid.

30 minutes of spacey atmosphere and guitar wankery, stoked [2]

Digging: Gaza - I Don't Care Where I Go When I Die

The Eidolon reality straight up sucked. Loved animosity though so I'm happy about Evan Brewer

Stoked even though this may never come out

Digging: Scale The Summit - The Migration

I pretty much agree with all of this. I mean don't get me wrong, the shug is fucking awesome, but they are a wee bit overrated.

"Deafcorejr"


shit user name

Digging: Chubby Wolf - Meandering Pupa

"Michael Keene could smoke Fredrik in anything other than finding strange ways to phrase 4/4. Yalll stoopid"

cuz fast riffs = good. keene can't do a sol niger within for his life even if he wanted to.

"Meshuggah is overrated on Sputnik "

you're welcome DEI or DIE. and faceless are not underrated they're just old news and still suck.

"Meshuggah fans are a lot like Tool fans"

Tool fans throw shit at opening bands if they don't like them.

So, do you think their next song will be played on an eight string guitar using polymeters with lyrics about reality featuring a tapping or legato guitar solo and riffs mostly centered around the lowest note on their guitar?

(I actually enjoy Meshuggah)

uh huh

the faceless sucks the faceless sucks the faceless sucks the faceless sucks

They got some good.

Digging: The Black Dahlia Murder - Everblack

I'm sorry, ShadowRemains; could say that again? I'm not quite sure what you think of the Faceless.

the faceless sucks but their vocalist is from pgh and i know him -- good guy

^ That's awesome, was he in any local bands I might know?

Album might be cool, I was never real into the faceless.

Digging: Harlots - Betrayer

Xenochrist rules.

Yeah I really that song and a few from Akeldama.

Yeah that piano shit is great.

Well they're an awesome band...but by the time this comes out, it'll be irrelevant.

I heard one of their songs and it was lolbad

Digging: Strictly Ballroom - Hide Here Forever

planetary duality was actually pretty decent for this kind of stuff. from their album covers you'd think they were some shitty "progressive" djent band but they're really just tech death. not really my thing tbh but they're pretty good at what they do.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

I'm stoked. And a lot of good albums are a half hour, so I don't mind, I believe in them.

Digging: Scapegoat - I Am Alien

can they just fucking release it already? [Xeno]Christ....

Digging: Kanye West - Yeezus

four years for a thirty minute album?

They're using a keyboard instead of an actual orchestra? fucking cheap as hell what the fuck

Most bands do that these days.

Almost every band uses either straight up keyboards or VST plugins for orchestration rather than real instruments.

I don't care if this album is short as long as it's awesome, I have a short attention span anyways. Probably will be their worst full-length but then again it has Evan Brewer soooooooooooo omgz

can they just fucking release it already? [Xeno]Christ....

Ahhhhhhaaaaaaa ^

Digging: Letlive. - The Blackest Beautiful

great band, one of the best at slaughter this year

@bloozclooz
Do you have any idea how expensive it is to hire an orchestra? Do you really think these guys make that much money?

Yes! Enjoyed both their albums, this should be awesome too.

Feels like they've been talking about it forever. I'm very ready for this.
